Apparently this weekend Bloomberg insinuated he and ONLY HE can save NYC from becoming the next Detroit:

“We all know that cities have gone through great boom times and then turned around and collapsed. Take a look at Detroit,” he said. “It went from a great city with lots of good-paying jobs to a city that’s basically holding on for dear life. All of our gains are always in danger of being turned around.”

Talk about another indication that Bloomie has an exceedingly inflated sense of importance. The idea that any single individual can make or break a city is preposterous; to assert that NYC could devolve into the next Detroit during one mayor’s term (that is, IF they’re 4-8 years) is just laughable.
